[games_access] AbleGamers.com Design + GDC 08

[d. michelle hinn]

Yes -- that's in my pile of submissions. I just got my super secret 
logon from the ever-cool Meggan, our CMP patron saint for all things 
GDC! She just got back from TGS, which -- of course -- was fabulous. 
No word yet about DiGRA and that whole mess. It seems that it was 
mostly the US folks that got left out of the loop then there was a 
big mix up with proposals (many went missing, never to be found 
again).

Anyway...Meggan's our CMP/GDC Queen of All Things Possible is back 
(yay! just in time!) so by tomorrow I'll know the news about our 
booth (how big, etc) -- btw...to answer other questions the booth 
will replace the Accessibility Arcade sessions so we don't kill 
ourselves setting up and can also reach more people given even those 
with the cheapest passes can get in to see the expo. Win-Win!

She'll also be helping with me the big SIG pile o' submissions. So 
rest easy -- do your best and I'll upload past proposals to the wiki 
and/or email them to those who have asked for them to look at. I'm a 
really good last minute proposal editor to make sure they have the 
EXCITEMENT that the proposals need to SCREAM!!!! Because it really is 
EXCITING!!!!! :)
